“…Most TBVs rely on host antibodies ingested during blood feeding, along with Plasmodium parasites, that bind to proteins on the surface of the parasite and block transmission by inhibiting parasite development ( Sauerwein and Bousema, 2015 ; Schorderet-Weber et al, 2017 ). Over the last 20 years, a number of antigens, including Pfs230 ( MacDonald et al, 2016 ; Marin-Mogollon et al, 2018 ; Scaria et al, 2019 ), Pfs48/45 ( Theisen et al, 2014 ; Singh et al, 2017 , 2019 ; Cao et al, 2018 ; Lennartz et al, 2018 ), and Pfs25 in Plasmodium falciparum as well as its ortholog Pvs25 in Plasmodium vivax ( Miura et al, 2007 ; Lee et al, 2016 ; Blagborough et al, 2016 ; Brune et al, 2016 ; Leneghan et al, 2017 ; Parzych et al, 2018 ; Thompson et al, 2018 ; McLeod et al, 2019 ; Yusuf et al, 2019 ), have been identified as potential vaccine targets. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that TBVs hold the promise to reduce malaria transmission and raise the prospect of providing an additional effective tool toward malaria eradication ( Chichester et al, 2018 ; Sagara et al, 2018 ).…”
